SourceTree Fails to Stage Modified Files

Question

I use SourceTree daily and never had such issue. But today I did some minor change and now I ended up having this issue:

What I changed today?

I added p4Merge as merge tool and diff tool in my git config. Then I changed my mind and deleted entries for p4Merge from my /.gitconfig file since I noticed I ended up having double entries for merge and diff tools there.

Neither SourceTree staging nor issuing git add . in terminal will stage files.  I have been able to rename file, then git will see that change and I can add, commit, then rename back and add and commit again to fix this issue.  But this issue keeps reoccuring, so this fix is not really fixing it.

Here is how that looked

However, after removing all entries for p4Merge tool, I noticed that I am unable to stage files from SourceTree anymore. Below screenshot shows that I have 4 upstaged files. If I try to stage them by checking off the checkbox beside them, nothing will happen. The wont be moved to Staged files section

In case it helps anyone else.  We came from an SVN background to git/sourcetree, and I found that I had this issue recently where one file would not stage.  I also had tortoiseGit installed and it commits the file no problems, and then it disappears from SourceTree.

... what is even more confusing is that git ls-files --stage lists all files as doubled but the guid is same

dinosmbp:source dinob$ cd SquirrelFOH/
dinosmbp:SquirrelFOH dinob$ git ls-files --stage

@ManjuI tried as you suggested:

* Updated to the very latest version today
* Clicked on File Status on the left side bar
* Then checked box next to unstaged file (this file shows in both staged and unstaged areas of SourceTree for some reason)
* I would expect it would move this file from unstaged to staged area but did did not happen, all I saw is brief busy circle in source tree but the file was not moved
* Repeated same from History but no changes

Attached screenshot shows just couple of files in red square that show in both staged and unstaged areas but adding/staging is not working on any of them.  Same issue if I try to stage files from terminal using git add . command.
